Rockets P.J. Tucker momentarily forgot how the game of basketball was played. The boneheaded mistake gave the Knicks two points with less than a minute to play and a three point Rockets lead.
Following a made Knicks free throw Eric Gordon inbounded the ball to Tucker. Instead of grabbing the pass Tucker stopped and watched it bounce on the floor.
This is definitely a play you don’t see in the NBA every night.

What was Tucker doing? Waiting for a punt to stop rolling? This is definitely a head scratcher.
The Rockets would hold on to win the game, but this play very easily could have cost them the game.
